“It’s not his fault. He didn’t know what he was doing. He’s just a little boy. I love him. He’s my family. I love all my family.” Martinez Jr. said when he was talking about his nephew. He also stated that he didn’t know that his nephew was around. Martinez was very remorseful about the situation, “We heard the gun shot go off. My father was struck in the chest before he was airlifted to the hospital, and they told us that he passed. I should’ve never brought the firearm out.” There was apparently drugs and alcohol involved according to police. “In this particular case, investigators informed us, that there was alcohol involved. Not only alcohol. We also had drugs. We had cocaine,” said Miami-Dade Police Detective Alvaro Zabaleta. Martinez doesn’t deny that he was doing drugs saying that he was smoking marijuana, doing cocaine and drinking beers.
The whole incident was an accident according to Martinez and he said that no one was to blame. “The family is not trying to point the finger at anybody. This is a tragic event that occurred. We can’t say it was my fault, it was my nephew’s fault, it was my father’s fault. It’s just a tragic event that occurred. If there was anything I could do to bring him back, God help me I would.” Martinez Jr. was arrested and since was released from jail. Even if he could get any of his guns back Martinez says that he wouldn’t want them. Check out the report below:
